- Why is that patch not applyed to the cvs-source tree? It seems to be a
know    bug.

- I didn't checked out a tagged version - I used the newest available
version.
  Will I get any trouble whit that?

- With the kernel 2.4.3 from florian I have trouble with the program 
  update-menus - it allways seg-faults. So most of the X-related
packeges
  could not install correct, because their xxxx.postinst scripts fails
(they 
  use update-menus). I don't know yet, if that problems also appears
with a 
  new kernel.


Thanks for your time
